Zhou An was not paying attention to these things, but the nervous look on the hostess' face. Zhou An said, "You just say whatever you want. After all, we live on your roof now and we will be neighbors in the future."
"We also need some expenses to cook. Can you pay for some money?" Xiangdong said embarrassedly.
Let me talk about this family, the old lady's name is her grandma Sun, while the male owner's name is Chen Ziheng and the female owner's name is Xiangdong.
"Yes, I've lived here for a month and I need to eat a month's meal. These are fifty gold coins. Is these meals enough?" Zhou An took out a small bag containing gold coins and said, and the small bag was dinged inside. It sounded like a jingle, and there were many gold coins.
Xiangdong took the small bag with Xise, poured the gold coins into the palm of his hand, and counted them one by one. When the last gold coins were counted, Xiangdong said, "It's fifty-two gold coins, two more." .” After saying that, he handed the two gold coins towards Zhou An.
"Don't give it to me, this is also a food supply." Zhou An didn't answer. Although he didn't have much money, he didn't care about the two gold coins.
"Then I'll make more delicious food for you from now on." Xiang Dong happily took the two gold coins back and put them in the bag and said.
"Well, let's go down to have a meal." Zhou An said.
Zhou An went down from the roof and went to the ground, while Xiangdong went down from the ladder he built next to him.
The two walked into the room and saw Grandma Sun sitting on the left side of the Eight Immortals table. Grandma Sun did not move her chopsticks to eat, but was just waiting there.
"Mother, I'll invite Mr. Zhou," Xiangdong said.
"Young Master, please sit down. It's all simple and simple, don't mind." Grandma Sun said as she said that she wanted to stand up and said.
"Grandma Sun, don't stand up." Zhou An helped Grandma Sun, who was about to stand up, sit down.
"My mother is in good health, Mr. Zhou doesn't have to care so much." Xiangdong said: "Mom, please sit down, too, Mr. Zhou is a good person."
"Okay, okay, I'll sit down." Grandma Sun said.
"Young Master Zhou, please sit down and eat, too." Xiangdong said.
"Okay." Zhou Anyixiao also sat down and looked at the food in front of him. It was three dishes and one rice, one with shallots mixed with tofu, one with braised pork, and one with Mapo tofu. The rice was soybean and brown rice.
Zhou An saw four meals in front of him, three of which were related to tofu, and this braised pork was probably made specifically for him. In this era, meat was relatively expensive.
Let’s say this according to the market price of Qiaocheng. One pound of cabbage is one silver coin, seven liang of beans are one silver coin, and one pound of pork costs five silver coins. It can be seen how big the gap between meat and other foods is, so there are generally few civilians. The only thing that eats meat during the holidays is to eat.
"Where is Mr. Shen, why didn't you see him?" Zhou An wanted to eat, but found that the male owner was not there, so he asked.
"He is still studying, let's eat it ourselves, don't worry about him." Xiangdong said.
"How can you ignore him? He is a scholar. Call him over and eat together." Zhou An said.
"Okay, I'll call him." Xiangdong said with a wry smile.
In fact, Chen Ziheng doesn't like Zhou An and Li Xiaosheng because they are martial artists. Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have not been integrated. After all, Chen Ziheng is a scholar. He doesn't like Zhou An and Li Xiaosheng, two reckless men. At the beginning, Zhou When An and Li Xiaosheng wanted to rent their roof, Chen Ziheng refused.
But Zhou An only bought the roof of the house and spent so much money, which was a big advantage. When Grandma Sun and Xiangdong were rented out, the minority obeyed the majority. Besides, one of them was his wife and the other was his mother. In the end, Chen Ziheng had to agree. Although he agreed, he was just unwilling to see Zhou An and Li Xiaosheng, so after Zhou An and Li Xiaosheng arrived, Chen Ziheng kept studying in the room.
In fact, there is another reason why Grandma Sun and Xiangdong rented it to Zhou An, because their family is too poor. Although Xiangdong sells tofu for a living, how much tofu can it be sold in a day? It is a bit difficult for Xiangdong to support the family alone. Grandma Sun can't do anything when she gets old, but Chen Ziheng is just a scholar and can't do anything except study every day. So in order to make the family live a better life, when Zhou An asked for rent, Xiangdong was the first to agree.
Xiangdong walked into Chen Ziheng's study room. At this time, Chen Ziheng was shaking his head and reading with a book. Xiangdong said, "Husband is out for dinner."
"You eat it yourself, I'm not hungry." Chen Ziheng said.
He didn't want to have dinner with Zhou An, a reckless man, and planned to wait until they finished eating before he could eat.
But as soon as Chen Ziheng said this, his stomach started to roar.
Chen Ziheng suddenly became embarrassed. Xiang Dong laughed and said, "My husband, come out for dinner with me." After that, he forced Chen Ziheng's hand to walk outside.
"Madam, slow down, my hands hurt." Chen Zi shouted.
"What's the pain? I didn't try hard." Xiangdong said.
"I am just a scholar, not a rash man, so it hurts when I touch it." Chen Ziheng said.
Xiangdong and Shen Ziheng walked out of the study and came to the dining table. Chen Ziheng sat down helplessly. Since he was here, he could not leave, as this would lose his identity as a scholar.
After sitting down, Chen Zi didn't say anything, he picked up the soybean and brown rice, picked up a braised pork with chopsticks and ate it. He was so envious of Zhou An. He only ate meat once every three months ago. But when Zhou An came to Xiangdong, he fried a plate of braised pork, which was not so good for him.
"Young Master Zhou also eats a piece of braised pork to see how I craftsmanship is." Xiangdong said with a piece of braised pork for Zhou An.
"I'll try it." Zhou An said after taking a bite of braised pork: "It's delicious, the fat and tender meat is roasted to be browned, crispy and tender, and the rich juice is wrapped around it. The smell of the nose hits, and you can take a bite and leave your mouth full of your mouth. It smells delicious.”
"Young Master Zhou is so praiseworthy, not so good." Xiang Dong said happily.
"I'm telling the truth." Zhou An said after taking a bite of soybean and brown rice.
Chen Ziheng saw Xiangdong and Zhou An so harmonious, he tasted a little, but he didn't say anything. He believed in his wife very much. After all, although Zhou Anchang was very handsome, he was a reckless man. The wife didn't like reckless man. .
Zhou An didn't say much, and he knew that it was a bit bad to say this with a married woman, so he just said a few words to Xiangdong and started to have a meal.
"Zhou An, are you here to participate in the current saint competition?" Chen Ziheng said.
"Yes, come and try it out to see if you can get a good ranking." Zhou An said.
